Mrs. Huldah Sabin Palmer, wife of Deacon Norman Palmer, was born at Petersburg, N. Y., May 13, 1811.
After a life journey of more than ninety-one years she began the Sabbath on the evening of September 19, 1902 surrounded by children, grandchildren and friends, in Nortonville, Kansas, when at 7:30, she passed to her heavenly rest to continue it on high.
At the age of four years, on the death of her father, she was taken to live with her aunt, Huldah Babcock, who lived at Baker's Bridge, N. Y., now Alfred Station. When she reached the age of fourteen years, her mother married Thomas Palmer of Cortland County, N. Y. This union afforded a home in which mother and daughter could again be united.
She gave her heart to her Saviour in early childhood, and during her long life manifested great Christian fortitude and development in a rich experience and a close walk with the Lord.
On January 5, 1834, she was married to Norman Palmer, at McGrawville, N. Y. She, with him, began the observance of the Bible Sabbath in the year 1845, while living at Ulysses, Pa.
During the last twenty years this aged couple have lived in the family of their son-in-law, Dr. H. R. Maxson, in Nortonville, Kansas, where their declining years have been made pleasant by loving hearts and tender hands.
Verily she has "a witness in heaven and a record on high." G. W. H.
